Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about this emergency tarp pricing tool tool.

How do I justify an 'Extreme Hazard' surcharge to a desk adjuster?
Document the site conditions with time-stamped video. If your crew is tarping a roof in 40MPH winds at 11 PM, the liability risk and specialty gear (harnesses, high-lumen lighting) warrant a 3x multiplier. Citing the 'Emergency Mitigation' requirements of the policy ensures the carrier covers these additional safety costs.
What are the standard Xactimate codes for emergency roof tarping?
Use code ROF-TARP for the basic installation, but remember to supplement for 'High-Rise' or 'Steep Slope' surcharges if applicable. Proper documentation of the 'Time and Materials' (T&M) used for temporary repairs is the fastest way to get your emergency invoices paid in full by insurance.
